Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is publishing a memoir later this month with an eye on raising his visibility for a run at the White House in 2024.
The Republican, who Rolling Stone recently called “America’s most popular governor,” told The New York Times on Tuesday his work as chairman of the National Governors Association in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic has boosted his interest in the presidency.
“We have an election coming up — we’ll see what happens there — but I’ve been leading the nation’s governors through one of the biggest crises in our lifetime,” he told the Times.
He said he has no interest in a run against incumbent Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen in 2022, according to the report. Hogan’s second term as governor ends in January 2023. His tenure as chair of the NGA ends in August, when he will hand the reins to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat.
